Good and lifty for the Allllajjaj. Full ballast, this thing shifted. The wind on approach was strong but turbulent. Den was forced over the pits as I was taking pics of the landing. This is the last thing I saw before I had to leg it. He landed here.

And seemed to be very pleased with himself. So I went for a stormy walk and wrote some poetry. Den wondering where to land next. The pits, sheltered nicely beind a lump.

Alljalaj landing on the grass, a sort of novelty for today. I landed on the fence (see here for onboard cam footage). H, nice and warm. Bringing in the BRISK. Penetration was poor past the fence so landings had to be steep with fingers working the crow on and off. Charging the ASH26. Sue, the pilot, is having a nap whilst this goes on.
